History Lessons

Today I was thinking to myself, humans are so stupid.

We all know that history repeats itself, right? So, maybe we should consider adding something to the No Child Left Behind curriculum. Maybe we should have a "How History Repeats Itself and Repetition Prevention" class (purposeful irony) in the schools.  Perhaps learning from our mistakes would help us evolve.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Humans aren't proactive. Meaning we won't do anything until there's no other choice, and by then it's usually too late.

I am positive humans are only here on this earth to liberate all the sequestered carbon (oil), and once the carbon is back in the system to be used by biomass, the asteroid will come and the planet will start all over again.

So, you're saying that my making the same mistakes over and over again is avoidable? Hmmm ....

I have nothing to add to that. If I did, it would be repeating...

'humans are so stupid'

A fact most people find out eventually in their short stay here on earth. They also find out there's nothing they can do about it.

What's next? You gonna rail on the misuse of terms like wont, mano a mano, and perqs? Only the truly disturbed would do something like that... ;)

BTW... nice use of irony.

Don't even get me started on education stuff... I'm already on edge trying to pass 3rd and 4th grade a second and third time around...

Mooog- Depends which one you were talking about ;)

Mike- That's sort of a brilliant theory. I can dig it. I have a similar theory myself.

Jay- Well... not yet. Perhaps one day.

Spokalulu- I didn't catch that. Could you please repeat it?

Knot- *sigh*

Mike- You are so uplifting. I'm filled with hope.

Dianne- That's because I've be looking up to you for years.

Micky-T- Yeah, as long as we only want to be as good as those who came before we should average out nicely.

LL- We can be truly disturbed together my love.

Farmer's Wife- If I had to take those classes again I don't think I would pass.

What's even scarier is that according to Darwin... we are the best there is.
